Verdict
MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE appears to get on well for conditional riders and Finn Lambert’s claim will be valuable on this occasion. Rockinastorm had an off-day at Uttoxeter last month and is better judged on some of his more fruitful efforts in bumpers. Merry Mistress has proved a useful mare for connections and they try cheekpieces in an effort to unearth further improvement while East End Girl was kicked at the start of her most recent appearance at Sedgefield so is probably best forgiven that run. Phoenix Aquilus has been kept ticking over on the Flat and could be underestimated by the layers.
